As the nation approaches Oct. 1, the next important date under the Affordable Care Act, an ongoing debate continues over whether young adults will buy health insurance. Some groups are urging young people, sometimes referred to as the "young invincibles," not to buy health insurance. The "young invincibles" are under 30, have never been sick, and many believe they do not need to buy health insurance.
